    Ingredients you will need

    Chicken wings - Remove your chicken wings from the fridge in advance and cut them into drumettes and flats if needed. Make sure that you’ve dried them well with a paper towel before coating them in dry ingredients.

    Baking powder - The secret of crispy keto chicken wings lies in this ingredient! It's because baking powder (make sure you use an aluminum-free one and don't confuse it with baking soda!!!) helps our chicken to dry out faster in the oven by pulling the moisture out from the skin.

    Salt and black pepper - Simple seasoning is enough here in my opinion, as we will drown our chicken in buffalo sauce. However, you can also add some garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to the seasoning.

    Buffalo chicken can't be made without buffalo sauce, right?! To learn more about the sauce, go here >> KETO BUFFALO SAUCE or skip to the recipe card to learn more. 

    Step by step directions

    For the low carb buffalo sauce

    First, we need to make our hot wings sauce. You can make this while the wings are in the oven or do it the day before. For the instructions, check out my KETO BUFFALO SAUCE recipe or skip to the recipe card.

    For the low carb buffalo wings

    Preheat the oven to 250F (120C), line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place a baking rack (sprayed with oil) on top.

    Place the dry chicken wings, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

    Place the chicken onto the baking rack and it into the preheated oven with the baking sheet underneath.

    Bake for 30 minutes. Then, raise the heat to 425F (220C) and bake for around 50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.

    Remove from the oven and place into a clean mixing bowl. Pour the sauce on top, toss to coat, and serve.

    Carbs in keto buffalo wings

    This keto-friendly wings recipe will absolutely fit your low carb diet meal plan. This dish can be served on a game day for a large crowd of people, more like a snack or an appetizer (very messy, though), or can be divided into four larger portions with around 1g net carbs per serving.

    Serving ideas

    Veggies - Of course, the easiest and tastiest way to serve our buffalo chicken wings is to add some healthy crunch from celery and cucumber sticks that you can cut up in just a few minutes.

    Dips – A simple BLUE CHEESE DIP or RANCH DIP will absolutely make this keto buffalo chicken complete.

    KETO COLESLAW - Creamy ranch plus crispy veggies plus crispy and spicy baked buffalo wings… that's what I call the perfect lunch or dinner combination!

    FAQ

    How long will buffalo chicken wings last in the fridge?

    Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    Can I freeze buffalo chicken wings?

    Yes, you can! Let the wings cool down completely after baking, then place into a Ziploc bag and remove as much air as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
